Droid!!!!! Not sure on AT&T which is best but go Droid, but they just got new ones out I belive and one has a HUGE screen

The inspire has been a real good phone to me had zero issues and been having it going on two years and has taken a number of drop test with no broken screen. Heard the Atrix is also a good phone just hear say.

Windows 7 phones are pretty good. Very smooth and fast. AT&T has three new models coming out pretty soon. Three guys I work with have the atrix. Two love it and one hates it. If you want to stick with android I would get the AT&T version of the Samsung Galaxy S2.

Don't mess around with those HTC Windows based phones. I upgraded and got one for me and my wife as a promo they were running. We kept them or 3 day the operatig system were horrible and didn't have any good Apps. I have always been a fan of the iphone because I like the operating system, but Droid makes some really goodproducts as well, they are just not as user friendly as the Iphone's functions, you really have to be tech. savvy to really understand all of the droids potential.

I've got an HTC windows 7 phone and I can't see having anything else. It is very smooth and fast and simple to operate. The app selection isn't as good as the iphone, but a lot of the top apps are available. I had an android before this phone and I was going to get an iphone when it was time to upgrade but I ended up reading a lot of reviews on the Windows 7 phones and watching a lot of videos and playing with it in the store before I made my decision. After three months I'm very pleased with my choice.

I find the galaxy s2 and the nexus that's coming out on verizon very tempting.

They may have changed some of the software since I had mine, we got them about 2 weeks after they came out. I didn't like the overall look of the phone and found it alittle harder to manage the features. Also the screen looked like a cartoon was constanly showing and made the home screen diffucult to glance up at and navigate easily. Like I said they may have made some changes. I have always had the Iphone since it came out and they may be part of the reason I was not as much a fan of the windows operating system vs. IOS. But I am really impressed with the new Samsun Galaxy s2, I know they have a few bugs to work out with battery life and sometime crashing but it is a very impressive phone. All the other companies have been trying to find the "Iphone Killer" for years but everytime a new smartphone comes out they are automatically compared to the Iphone because of their dependability and long standing history in the smart phone market.

The windows 7 phones have come a long way. I just got the update last month that adds multitasking and some other really neat features. Right now the only thing these phones need are more apps and microsoft to advertise them better. Here's a video comparing iOS 5 with windows 7 (I think the guy is biased towards the windows phone) :

I've had my iPhone 4s for a week now and love it.

Anyone with Verizon service...I got a Motorola Droid X2 practically brand new I'll sell for $150. Verizon service doesn't work at my duck camp in PI or deer camp in St. Francisville. AT&T may drop calls and Verizon internet might be a little faster, but AT&T has service everywhere.

Droids are cool but IPhone is King.

That's a pretty good deal right there.

I just got the new Verizon Iphone 4GS yesterday, I love it.

The new android operating system is going to blow the iPhone out the water in my opinion. It's very user friendly and has a huge selection of apps. Plus u can get a 4G capable phone with a droid. The new iPhone (4s) does NOT run on the 4G network.

I'm interested to see how smooth the next android os is, it looks like it has some neat features. If it can be as smooth and consistent as the iphone that will be nice. 4G isn't an option around sw LA yet. The 4S does support a higher speed 3G through AT&T. Not sure how available it is though.

I wouldn't bet on that new operating system just yet. A friend of mine came over last weekend to watch the game, he had troubles with his droid, it kept crashing on him and for some reason. He was only downloading a few updates for some apps and texting.

Scott is right about the 4G network, it is not available around here yet. Also some comapines that claim are on the 4G network, weel let's just say that there are some facts they may leave out and a few speeed setails they may leave out especially when it comes to usage levels and actual spped rates vs. test rates.

That's disappointing. I got my wife an iphone when they came out on Verizon due to the force closes and lag problems I was having with my droid. I was hoping some of that was corrected by now.

I can't wait until Verizon has their 4G around Lake Charles. That stuff is fast, especially compared to their 3G.
